However, she did admit that she misses the Teresa she knew in the early seasons of the *Real Housewives of New Jersey*. ![Caroline Manzo, Teresa Giudice, and Dina Manzo shop in Atlantic City during season one of RHONJ ](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/wives-600.jpeg)Caroline Manzo, Teresa Giudice, and Dina Manzo filming for season one of RHONJ. *** “I miss the days of Season 1, Teresa,”*** Caroline said, adding, ***“The fame got to her head.”*** Caroline elaborated: ## “Fame is a very, very dangerous thing, and if you are not completely grounded in who you are, you believe the bulls–t. The fame got to her head, and I will stand here to this day — to this moment — in the fact that I have always defended her.” *RHONJ* airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm on Bravo. ## Thoughts on this all?
